Infographic - examples

What is an Infographic?

-Infographics are kind of like posters in that they efficiently display information in an eye-catching manner. Infographics are based around a topic, and aim to inform the viewer. 



4 Infographic Examples

Apollo 11 - 50 year anniversary

Real?
1. Over 400,000 NASA employees would have to be kept silent.
2. Russia admitted they were beaten after the landing, and would have no motive for lying.
In addition, the technology required to pull off a studio recreation of the moon landing would have been much harder and expensive than actually going to the moon.
3. Physical evidence in the form of moon rock was brought back, and photographs of the moon's surface shows the site of the Apollo 11 landing.
Fake?
1. You can't see the stars in the footage of the landing. (actually this is because the aperture of the cameras used were adjusted to get a good picture of the shuttle area. If the camera had been adjusted to see the stars, the entire shuttle area would be nothing but a white blur.)
2. there are multiple shadow directions, which is caused by "studio equipment". (actually the sun can cause multiple shadow angles and can be easily demonstrated on earth.)
3. The flag is moving without an air current. (actually, the flag is moving because when it was placed, force was exerted on it. Because of the moon's lowered gravity, the impact of the force was greatly prolonged.)
